As a key sponsor of the Starlight Children’s Foundation, we are involved in many exciting fundraising activities solely aimed at helping Starlight continue with its valuable work: brightening the lives of seriously ill kids. Our partnership with Starlight has humble origins: it has grown from one R&W agent’s personal involvement with Starlight to a broad and diverse engagement that extends throughout the Richardson & Wrench network across New South Wales and Queensland with the number of established agencies becoming involved growing each year.

Over the time of this partnership, R&W have been responsible for donating $500,326.09! which has allowed Starlight to improve the experience of hospitalisation for thousands of children. This means a great deal to all of the children and their families who have had to deal with so much during their time in care and during treatment. To be a small part of the support process for these children during these difficult times means so much to everyone at Richardson & Wrench.

This year we are running the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival to support Starlight. Please give generously so we can continue to brighten the lives of seriously ill kids.

About Starlight Children's Foundation

Starlight's mission is "To brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families".

Because sick kids are still kids at heart...

When a once-bright life becomes dulled by needles, hospital visits and painful treatments, Starlight helps sick kids forget their illness and re-discover the joy of childhood.

We know there's more to treatment than medicine. That's why since 1988, we've partnered with Australian health professionals to develop programs based on positive psychology principles that support the 'total care' of our children and teens.

Like the young people in our care, we are distinctly Australian. Our unique programs are the result of extensive research and respond to the specific needs of Aussie kids and teens.

We know what kids and their families are facing when serious illness or injury consumes their lives.

We disrupt the relentless cycle of pain and trauma and offer a welcome break so that sick kids can simply be kids.
